Characters

In GHOSTBURN, you are a Ghost, someone whose digital identity has been erased. You live outside the system, doing work for your Medium, the one who reached out and helped you when your life was in shambles.

You didn't start out as a ghost. You had a life once. A career. A Background. But that life went up in smoke when you got Burned. The street waits. It knows you, and it waits until you are at your most vulnerable. But before the street could find a use for you, a stranger appeared and offered a deal.

You took it.

The events of your burn still Haunt you, but you have work to do. Your medium erased your identity and set you up with a crew. It's a different kind of work than what the corporate knobs do in their glass towers, but it's important.

Megacorp media labels people like you, the bad guys. They call you criminals. Killers. Punks. And they're not totally off the mark, but they miss the nuance of what you're doing, the benefits you bring to society. You make a difference, or, at least, you try. Some people out there have no other options. You exist to fill that void. Invisible and deadly.

A Ghost.
